Benefits of taking part in the Audit
Services that have taken part in previous audit cycles have told us the key benefits the Audit has given them:
- Benchmark the quality of your service against similar services across the UK.
- Quick and simple data entry and short question sets.
- Your local results are evidence you can use to lobby for more support, or in grant applications.
- Participation opens the door to taking part in our UK-wide service improvement projects.
"Our Speech and Language therapy team have fully embraced the role of the Audit nationally and have already seen the benefits for our patients of embedding some of the findings. I would encourage all services involved in Parkinson’s care to get involved!"
Clare Ramsey, Service and Operational Lead for Adult Speech & Language Therapy, Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust
"The Audit really made me think about our patients, carers and what we are doing and very importantly what and how to do better. You get an accurate picture of how your service is doing; we learned a lot about our service - things we hadn’t thought about. It helps to focus on what is being done, how good it is, what the gaps are and how to improve for everyone."
Simon Cooper, Consultant Geriatrician, Clinical Lead for Parkinson’s Disease, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust
